Burger Patties

Method

Preparing the Patties

  1. 1

    Form the Patties

    In a bowl, mix ground beef with salt and black pepper. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into 8 oz patties.

  2. 2

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium doneness. In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty to melt.

Cooking the Toppings

  1. 3

    Cook the Bacon

    In a skillet, cook the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  2. 4

    Fry the Onion Rings

    In the same skillet, fry the onion rings until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 5

    Prepare the Fries

    Fry or bake the French fries according to package instructions or until golden and crispy.

Assembling the Burger

  1. 6

    Build the Burger

    On the bottom half of each brioche bun, place the cooked patty with melted cheese. Top with two slices of bacon, a handful of onion rings, and a generous drizzle of cheese sauce. Add French fries on the side or on top of the burger for extra crunch.

  2. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Place the top half of the brioche bun on the assembled burger. Serve immediately with additional fries and your favorite dipping sauces.
